The New Mexico Transportation History Project (NMTHP) maintains an extensive collection of old New Mexico license plates
for research and educational purposes, and we are always on the lookout
for additional plates to add to that collection. Here are some of the
types of plates that are of greatest interest to us:

Most New Mexico plates of any and all types dated before 1930, and
especially the following:

Any and all New Mexico
pre-state plates
from any of the cities that issued them, including those for both
cars and motorcycles.

Any and all New Mexico
Passenger Car
plates from 1912 through 1923, including the undated 1912 and 1913
plates, regardless of condition, even if these are duplicates of
what we already have.

Any and all New Mexico
porcelain
plates, whether for Passenger Car, Dealer, Motorcycle, or Highway
Department, even if these are duplicates of what we already have.

Any and all New Mexico
Motorcycle
plates from 1913 through 1970, even if these are duplicates of what
we already have.

Any and all 1943 &
1951 Windshield
Stickers, whether for car, truck, or any other type of vehicle.

Any New Mexico plate of a year and type that is not already pictured
on the NMplates.com website, and any plate that is pictured but for
which you have an example that is in much better original condition
with original paint.
